Pedestrians in Minnesota are dying after being hit by vehicles at 164 percent of last year's rate, according to the Star Tribune.
Two of the latest were in Anoka County: An elderly couple died Saturday after they were struck while walking in a crosswalk against a red light in Ramsey.
At his blog Pedestrian Safety, Dale Butler suggested one way to improve pedestrian safety in Fridley: Issue tickets to vehicles that block crosswalks when they stop at intersections for red lights.

Book your hotel early. Some hotels are booked a year in advance of the parade, and last-minute reservations can be entirely impossible. Try to get a room that is not above the twelfth floor, or you won't see much other than the tops of balloons. Thanks a lot.
